apache speeds?
 

Can anyone send me a link to a thread with some 41 apache speeds or post some numbers for 41 apaches!... hp drives ect... I'm considering a project 41 and want an idea of where i would need to be hp range! A good friend of mine has 2 aluminum Donovan 658 ci. about 800 hp detuned with low compression and modest timing and i want to see if it would be worth my time.... all i want is 95! how much power......... with 6s . help me out guys, i will not go back to a fountain! :D :evilb: :drink: :p

My 41 with 850 SC's, #6 drives will hit 80 with the right water under it.......in flat water we see around 75.

Re: apache speeds?
 

:eek: wow so 1000's to hit 90?

Re: apache speeds?
 

What does it weigh? Damn they take some hp :eek:

Re: apache speeds?
 

Another good question! Im sure it varies on layup ect.. but im unsure!

Re: apache speeds?
 

Mine with 653's Zuls, running around 1000HP, full staggered #6's, race pleasure layup, with trannys runs 96 to 97 with Jonhnny T. running her, I hit 92 this past summer a few times. It ran 108 with Merc 1000's and crashboxes, at LAKE X.

Guess so....there aren't that many 41's I know of that can top 100.

Maybe give McManus or Saccenti a call and ask them. The boat weighs over 10,000lbs or so....at least that's what I've been told.

Remember, a big part of the exceptional ride in rough water comes not only from the length but the weight.....

Re: apache speeds?
 

Magnum Marks 41 runs close to 90 with 800's but his is a super light race layup with 3 place cockpit and no cabin. Oh yea it has #3's.

Re: apache speeds?
 

anyone know of any for sale without power but possibly with drives or gimbals? i know there are two it the classifieds here but one has nothing but gages and a cabin... and i think they are both slightly over priced... the bare hull doesn't seem too expensive!

Re: apache speeds?
 

its not an apache but kinda comparable as its a straight hull heavy azz boat of same length, were hoping to just barely break 100 with triple 960s in our 1990 42 cig revo, but with trips it prob weighs about 1300 more than apache.
